Why do I look skinnier in the morning than in the afternoon?

[Anonymous]

When I look in the bathroom mirror in the morning my stomach is flat and I look skinny. In the afternoon, my stomach is not flat any more. Even if I fast during the morning, by lunch I still look fatter than I did when I had just woken up. Why is this? How can I maintain what I look like in the morning throughout the day?

It cannot be food/dehydration, as if I don't eat or drink anything until 1 pm, I still look fatter than I did at 7am. I read online that you are taller in the morning but only like 5 mm and I find it strange that 5 mm can cause such a big difference

i think it's crouching that causes belly bloat. i look slimmer in the morning and bigger later in the day even though i weigh exactly the same in morning and night. weighed myself dozens of times and i always weigh the same. i dont eat at all at work and drink only sugar free liquids. i drive though and crouch while doing so. try standing or laying flat for most of the day.

Because you wake up dry. And morning is closest form of yourself without water weight so you don't look skinny, You just have comparatively less water weight, sodium and carbs in your bod than in evening.

you are, take measurements. You'll also be a bit shorter in the evening than in the morning.

Generally speaking you look thinner, because you are a bit taller at the mass, you didn't eat or drink in hours so you're stomach is empty and you're likely slightly dehydrated. No you can't maintain that throughout the dat

Gasses that accumulate in your body during the day.
